I've been dunking my head and bobbing for good Kanye jams the last couple weeks. Came up with a few that remind me why I'm still able to compartmentalize Kanye the artist and Kanye the douchebag in my head. I've never been so conflicted with a singular musician, but that's fodder for a different post. My point is I'm down with some new Kanye tracks, one so much that it bumped "This is America" right out of the top five. 070 Shake has been a talking point in the media for being the highest high point on Ye. Rightfully so. But it's Yeezy's verse that actually wrung the most emotion out of me. And I find myself caring about Kid Cudi as much as I did in 2009.
So yeah, I drank the water and Kanye sits up top this week. Snail Mail is right behind and, truthfully, I see myself still listening to "Heat Wave" long after "Ghost Town" has dropped off my conscience.
Beach House's "Dive" is the musical equivalent of waves crashing on a beach; fitting that it just continues to rise as summer gets closer.
